Next Merc Retro???

[Danustouch]

Litha...when is the next merc retro? I feel like we just passed through a very difficult astrological state for communications..did we miss anything key?

:T You know, I was wondering that myself, Danu. It feels like we're getting close to one or just started.

Glad I'm not the only one...LOL. :D

Danus,

the next Mercury retrograde is May 15 to June 8

but remember, a few weeks before, and after you may feel the effects..

but this one is sure to be interesting,
for on May 26 we have a "full moon/lunar eclipse"
and on June 10 we have a new moon/solar eclipse

then we are safe LOL until mercury goes retrograde
again on September 14 to October 6

:)

Dt,
There is a very good Merc Rx calendar on a website run by witch/astrologer Maria Kay Simms:
http://www.astrocom.com/starstuff/mercury-retrograde.html

Jim Shawvan has an excellent article on the same site that explains the phenomena of Merc Shodow/Storm that Xander points out.

The communications difficulty we are all experiencing may be related to Chiron. Last week Chiron stationed at 10 degrees Capricorn before moving retrograde.
Chiron will continue to appear in reverse motion until early September.

All Chiron themes -- the maverick, outsider, keys that open doors to higher consciousness, wounds, pains, the wounded healer, the search for individual freedom, building bridges from one realm to another, odd episodes of time and space, alternative medicine, holistic healing and divinatory systems -- are emphasized.

The effect and power of a Chiron station can bring us all to enlightenment and rare insights. These are not pain free, but they come with a lessons we need to learn. This can be a time of sinister challenges if we resist these transformative energies. Don't hold back, work towards change and progress and breakthroughs are likely. Golden opportunities are knocking.
